NYFW S/S 2016

You never know where you'll be in two days, two years, or two decades. Sixteen year old Melissa never thought she'd be sitting second row at a New York Fashion week show. Hell, even eighteen year old Melissa didn't expect that.  WEARING: Forever 21 Jacket | Topshop Joni Jeans | Forever 21 Pumps Yet there I was, surrounded by my friends, living my high school daydreams....

Off to the Races

A classy, sunny evening and a big floppy hat... As I mentioned in my previous post, "Crystal Clear", my family has uprooted itself from our home in Westchester, New York, in favor of a new home and life in the charming county of Saratoga.

Sportswear

In the fashion industry today, sportswear has become synonymous with casual. Adidas sneakers have replaced heels, T-shirts replaced blouses, and neoprene replaced silk. Trends today include sporting Nike crew socks and tennis skirts. As a society, our fashion choices have subconsciously become that of a 90's teenager taking tennis lessons, which is a trend I full on support. Really who's gonna complain about...

Nueva York

Wearing: Garage Flannel | Forever 21 Shorts | Forever 21 Boots | Mulberry Satchel A Friend of mine once said she was waiting for her "New York moment" to happen.

It's All in the Styling

Wearing:  TJ Maxx Beanie | H&M Parka | TJ Maxx Blouse | TJ Maxx Boots | Acessorize Purse (out of stock- similar linked) Don't let this never ending winter weather make you go out of style.

NYFW: Street Style

Ania B.  Natalia Georgala ??? :( Beckerman Nemmluv The Vintage Twin Reina Del Mar Torres (Stylist Secrets) Even through the snow and wind, Lincoln Center was popping today. Despite the misconception the enormous amounts of open-toed shoes portrayed, it was frigid. Thankfully the bloggers didn't let that keep them in their swanky apartments! I will never understand how some bloggers can stand out...
